Abstract

Five and half years ago, a 45-year-old female metastatic gastric cancer patient underwent a metastatectomy and chemotherapy. Over the last 4 years and 2 months, she received radiotherapy for every new distant metastasis with intermittent TS-1 oral chemotherapy. She received 8 courses of radiotherapy at 17 metastatic sites for more than 4 years. Metastatic sites which received a curative radiation dose achieved and maintained local control. The patient is now 51 years of age and lives without difficulty in performing her daily activities.

5년 반 전 처음 위암 발견 당시 45세였던 여자 환자로 처음부터 원격전이가 있었던 상태였으며 위절제술과 전이부위 절제를 포함한 수술과 항암제치료를 받았다. 그 후 4년 2개월 전부터 여러 차례 새로운 원격전이가 나타날 때마다 간헐적인 경구용 TS-1 항암제 치료와 함께 방사선치료를 시행 받았다. 방사선치료는 4년여에 걸쳐서 8차 시행하였으며 총 시행부위 수는 17 부위였다. 환자의 방사선치료 부위들 중에 근치적 방사선량의 치료를 받은 부위들은 그 뒤 수년의 시간이 흘러도 해당 부위의 국소조절 상태가 유지되었다. 환자는 현재 51세로 일상생활에는 별 지장이 없는 상태이다.
